just installed MozillaFirefox-1.0.8-0.2.i586.rpm and during the process I got "su: user /dev/null does not exist"
maybe a minor bug in your eyes? ;-) You say "user /dev/null does not exist" - that has nothing to do with the file /dev/null. Do you have a user /dev/null defined in /etc/passwd (or LDAP or whatever source you use when logging in)?
No bug in my contacts, see below. BUT, problem solved, logged in again at the console, NOT using su -l and the message didn´t appear again. Maybe faulty su-setup, no clue. Sorry for the inconvenience.
